What you will need:
A plastic trim tool or slim wide flat head screwdriver and some tape.
Method:
With your trim tool or screwdriver get behind the vent in the dash and pull the screwdriver towards you, as you feel it coming swap to the other side and do the same. Once you can get your fingers behind the lip pull the vent using your hands.
To remove the chrome ring you need to prise it off from the back edge between the vent ring and the plastic vent. Usually you need to do this in 3 places before the vent ring will become free.

finally a video that shows how to get the fascia off - nice one
Mike Commons your very welcome buddy 👌🏻 thanks for watching
@@TheParrottBros is there a particular gauge you would recommend? - i quite like the look of this one: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Prosport-60mm-4-In-1-Multi-Display-Gauge-Oil-Pressure-Oil-Temp-Water-Temp-Volt/372729149042?hash=item56c8637672:g:2CUAAOSwY2Jb3ESt - but want a reliable one, especially for that price
Mike Commons there is 2 issues with that, usually the gauge holders are 52mm that’s 60mm. Secondly you will have to wire up and get additional sensors fitted for the other options. I recommend the stack gauge as good pedigree, clean look and super accurate. tidd.ly/2PnrSOL has a choice of white and black face
These Parrott Bros doesnt the amount of followers that they deserve. He's seriously the most informative and helpful RUclips resource especially for the 8N TT.
I wish they could help me solve the sponge insulation issue that's blowing around when I use the aircon
Haha thanks for the kind words, the foam is the insulation gaskets found between each jon in the heating system, if you pull a vent forward you will see it wrapped around the end of each vent, or possibly not in your case, usually over the years the heat cycles wears the stickyness down and it comes loose and comes out the vents
Great video, you do all the things other RUclipsrs don’t do
Fighting Arts of England thanks buddy. That’s the plan :)
Thanks the video, it has just made me find the vents i purchased on eBay a month ago...going down to fit them now.
Like what others have said - finally! A YT video showing how to dismantle these. My clip-on phone magnetic phone mount pushed the flimsy centre bar holding the vent flaps away making the vent pretty much useless. Couldn't for the life of me work out how to take it apart. You've just saved me around £10 for a replacement one off eBay and given me a small sense of achievement. TYVM :D (the tenner saved has half paid for and OEM Mounts one - name-dropped ya ;) )
jr72 hey buddy, great glad it’s been helpful and saved you money that’s always a bonus! Plenty more videos in the album and more to come :)
You and BWS have really helped me out with my project TT. Thanks for the videos.
Brilliant, glad we could help
If you are putting gauges you need the black surround piece the one that is attached to the top bezel otherwise the aluminum ring wont line up with the vent epoxy always works best!!!
Ordered my oem mount on Saturday can’t wait to get it fitted 👌🏻
colin bell they are brilliant. Because you sit so low in the tt it’s hard to find a good place for phones. Window is too short really end up blocking it
Thank you!! Great video.
thanks for watching 😀
Great video as always mate
John Hinds thanks John 🤙🏻
perfect video, just ordered a phone mount!
Jeff0000 thanks buddy 👌🏻. Yeah loved mine the other weekend when I did 710miles haha
Brilliant video just what I was looking for! I've bought a vent off ebay and am going to fit a boost gauge but didn't want to destroy it working out how it comes apart... printed my own fitting ring so hope that fits thanks
Glad it was of some use to you, what gauge are you going for?
@@TheParrottBros Prosport 52mm Super Amber off ebay
DodgyDC 👌🏻
thanks a lot !!
My pleasure
Wondering if you've made a video on how to fix a lock handle on a mk1 glove compartment...mine came off. Thanks
What's the expected peak boost from a remapped car compared to standard? I've seen different opinions. I've seen 15psi standard and 18psi remapped is that about right?
nice video again.
one question, how much turbo pressure should a tt mk1 225 have.
Greetings Patrick
Hey, stock should be 10-12psi, mapped would usually be 18-21psi
Thanks for the quick response
Which 52mm boost gauges do you like the best for the vent in a TT?
For me personally I really like the stack gauge. It’s timeless, simple and clear. No gimmicks, it’s not tinted etc. Just feels right
Hi mate excellent video i found a liquid gauge race diagnostic from s3 8l!!your opinion about ?are there problems?because this company don't produce any more!!thanks!!
If you can get a liquid gauge and pin code they are awesome, they do everything you’d want pretty much. I wouldn’t worry too much as don’t really brake as far as I’m aware
@@TheParrottBros do you know from bam engine to bam engine need the code?from s3 to tt!!
@@xristinam8062 As ive never actually owned one i couldnt say im afraid
at 10:48 you mentioned a vent ring. Is that an aftermarket item or did I miss something? I am going to mount a boost gauge in my TT and would like to mount it as you described. And to be clear, you said you were still able to use your phone mount?
Yes an aftermarket part that you add to hold the boost gauge. Links in video description. I would buy the Cloude 9 customs one as it fits the best. Yes you can still use phone mound after
@@TheParrottBros Perfect. Thank you!
Am getting my TT in a few weeks . Every one tells me to get the 225 bam ENGINE. Ok you got the 180bhp tjen the 225bhp. But what is the bam bit about. Plus witch one do i go for is there much in them
Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP the reason most aim for the Bam engine is that they have shown to be the best for tuning purposes, stronger engine, best set up, wide band ecu etc. 180 is smaller turbo, 225 is bigger turbo and can produce nearly 290bhp on stock turbo and stock engine with some subtle mods
@@TheParrottBros so go for the 225 bam TT tjen its a no brainer thank u . I will be running a 50 to 100 wet shot of nitrous as well just for fun.. u say it's got a wideband as well so i can tap into that to put a AF gauge to that . Or am I getting that bit wrong.
Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP Wideband or narrow band is just a reference to the voltage output of the sensor. Narrowband 0-1v. Wideband 0-5v. A wideband gives better resolution so they are better to tune with. As you are just monitoring afr via a standalone gauge and not using it for engine control (aka the ecu isn't monitoring the signal) it doent really matter. Most standalone gauges are wideband
Do you still have the boost gauge or is it gone
Steven Harper it’s gone I’m afraid
I will take it
Daniel Warren done 👌🏻
@@TheParrottBros dam lol
I am getting my TT in a few weeks.
I have been told go for the 225bhp not the 180bhp. As it's got the bam ENGINE. What is the bam bit about . If u can help me.
Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP replied you your other comment 🤙🏻
@@TheParrottBros I am glad I foumd ypur channel . I have watch alot of your vids. Can see me watching them all night. Dam i realy hit the nail on the head by finding your channel. Nice. U got a new fan love the channel.
I can see me asking you alot of Q at 1st hope that's ok
Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP haha thanks man that’s what the channel is set up for 🤙🏻
Do you still have the boost gauge?
Franklin county strangler its gone I’m afraid
So 1st Q lol
Have you run nitrous on any of your cars.
If not cool.
If got lots more Q to come.
I.e fuel psi into the fuel rail. I am sure they are 45psi .
Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP I’ve not actually. It’s not a common mod in England. Easier to do water meth injection. Stock fuel rail is 3bar, usually when mapped upgrade to 4bar.
@@TheParrottBros 3bar cool meens I can run a 1:2 ratio. Been doing nos for years . It's the cheapest way to add 50bhp to 1000bhp. Just got to pull the timing when spaying and get the air to fuel ratio correct I am old school so I check the spark plugs as well.
That's y i asked about the windband ecu with is nice as I could get that to add the fuel. But i run a wet kit as it's safer . And your right in the uk nitrous is not big here. In the US its big. companies like nos /Nx/ cold fusion/ in the uk we use wizards of nitrous. Trev is the God of nos. But the meth & water kits r nice touch. it cools the chamber down inlet temperatures Down . and course allows you to advance That timing to get massive power. Had someone one time got a water methanol kit then the next day said to me don't produce no extra power. Wast of time 🤔😂he forgot to get it tuned and to advance the timing. I will be using a water and Med kit on top of the nitrous in the end. As nitrous u have to pull timing but with both kits u shod get away with pulling no timing when spraying. Sing about mess and water kits is that you must have them filled up all times because you tune the engine that way it's only you run out of of water and e85 you're knackered because your advanced timing is too far . But then goimg into things way to much .
can the TT be tuned on HP tuners or EFI live. On the stock ecu.
Look into the nitrous even if you only had a 50 shot you'll be amazed you can even use it just to take away the turbo lag so there's someone deletes turn off when it hits 10 PSI . Cool u take care my new friend
@@TheParrottBros I do live in the uk as well hillingdon London if u like
@@TheParrottBros p.s I spray everything. Even my 2stroke lawnmower lol .
If u still got that gague I take it
Mini on nitrous 105BHP to 205BHP it’s gone I’m afraid. Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
